This is a 3D model for the Darksaber! By purchasing this you get all 12 .stl files required to 3D print and assemble your very own life-sized light-up Darksaber, as well as an .stl file with the fully assembled 3D model of the Darksaber. This is a digital-only item.
Building Instructions:
Print out all the pieces (some file names will tell you to print more than one of a single part) Note: if you're planning on adding lights, you will need to print all the blade pieces with clear plastic filament. Print the handle with any filament you want.
Glue the blade together with a hot glue gun, but not the blade cover pieces (so you can add lighting)
Assemble your battery pack, button, and led lights
Slide the battery pack inside and glue the button to the button hole
Glue the led light strip to the edges of the saber Tip: if you want the blade to be more stable, you will want to glue a long, thin, light, and sturdy thing to the inside of the blade. A long, thin piece of wood could work. Or, you could glue popsicle sticks (or something similar) to each joint on the inside of the blade.
Glue the blade cover on, and finish gluing the handle together.
Cover the sides of the saber with tape and spray paint the blade with gloss black paint
Spray paint the handle gray
Print the holder if you want to hang it up You're done! Don't swing the saber or it will break :)
